It was my first time there and I didn't know what to expect. I brought in a wounded bird. The staff member who helped me was very friendly. I appreciate her understanding of the situation.

Wonderful and Knowledgeable People. Took two bunnies by and they told me how to keep them safe, and that mamma bunny was feeding them at night so we could keep them in their nest. They grew perfectly and are now off in the wild where they should be.

I keep seeing a goose in my community with a broken leg, would they help pick the goose up?

I don't believe they do animal removals, it would need to be taken to them. Animal control may be best option here.

I have an abandoned birds nest. The birds seem to be still alive, will someone take them?

The wildlife center will take them even at after hours. They close at eight. I have brought them ducks before (separate times) two of the ducks I found couldn't fly and they had maggots so most likely didn't make it, however the other duck I brought was just very dehydrated and hungry they gladly took him and gave me back the bin and everything. Right after me was someone who brought a bird that had a broken leg. The only things they don't take is pets and dogs and cats. They even take turtles!!

They will take them in and care for them until they are ready to be released. They take pretty much anything, and have an after hours drop spot by the entrance.

Hello! I got your name from Jayne Boswell. I found an injured crow yesterday. Giving raw chicken and parrot food and he loves it. Can fly but not real well. Can you take him if I can't release him by tomorrow?
